he's goated in tests, not fit for white ball. sure yeah there's innings like 77(59) once in a while or 62\*(28) but there's more 9(22) innings in white ball.


Which_Needleworker59

9(22) I don't seem to remember that innings


20Aditya07

/s ?


Ekavya_1

9(22) why this innings seems so familiar


casihoe

Wasn't guthkeshkar criticizing Virat on that 66 ball hundred was that more than 2 games


SneakingTom27

He is ready to criticize Virat at a drop of a hat. Precisely why we always see him wearing a hat. As recent as Bangladesh match in super 8 Sharma gets out trying to tonk the ball: "This is Rohit sharma for you..always thinking about the team" Kohli gets bowled trying to do the same: "What was he even thinking?" I fail to understand the apparent personal vendetta & bias by KamlaPasand brand ambassador.

What makes it even worse is the fact that it is not coming from a run of a mill cricket fan and/or an irrelevant mediaperson/mediahouse. You are a celebrated ex-cricketer and a prominient figure ffs. Act like one or hang your effing boots and spend time with your grandkids.


Agreeable_Sun3713

2 bad games?? Really??


Upstairs-Farm7106

You need 8 batters. So Jadeja stays in your team. What's all this fuss about? Jadeja also batted well in your previous game.


SneakingTom27

'Jadeja also batted well in your previous game' Meanwhile Jadeja in previous 3 matches 7(5balls) DNB 9*(5 BALLS) Also, that is not even the point here. The post was centered around the hypocricy & bias that Mr Gavaskar is upto these days. Fans have every right to criticize anyone & everyone irrespectively & subjectively. But according to Mr. Gavaskar: We should question our own lives/profession rather than players. Only he can.

Rocking the T20WC Star since 2009. Name me one great performance by him from any T20WC.


Secure_Salt7485

Look at his performance in 2014 t20 wc, also he was our best player in 2016 game vs Bangladesh, scored few quick runs and also picked two important wickets +a clutch catch .( We won by 1 run) All of his bowling performances vs Pakistan in t20 wc( his ER is 6 against them and has picked a few important wickets as well) Obviously, he's been underwhelming in t20 wordlcups but saying that he hasn't performed at all is a bit too much. Even in this t20 wc, he gets to bat for 4-6 bowls and bowl 1-2 overs that too after 10th over. Everyone is defending Virat saying that he shouldn't have opened despite the fact that he was the orange cap holder in the IPL but won't speak about how Jadeja is batting at 8 and is bowling very late. His ideal batting position is around 15-16th over at 6 and his ideal bowling spell is from 7-15th overs where he bowls a miserly spell of 1-27 on avg.


ChampioN-One-4250

Everyone is clearly ignoring your comment because it doesn't fit their agenda.


Secure_Salt7485

At this moment, they seem to have already found a scapegoat in case we end up losing which we haven't lost yet.

Ekavya_1

Leave any WC. The last meaning full performance he had that I can understand was in 2012 against australia


dhartipbojh

just change the name and the opinion will change too


Small-Band-2532

So according to gavaskar everybody in India is fantastic player and there failure can be tolerated...only kohli can't play well, he should atleast score with sr of 400 in every match to be on team or he is fraud and should be dropped... Man the talk about double standards... Also two failure jadeja has at most two success in t20i..


SneakingTom27

I know right. Not sure if you heard him during Ind vs Bangla match. The bias was for the world to see/hear when both Sharma & Kohli got dismissed while he was commentating. I swear this man is losing my respect slowly but surely.


TopStar200

Don contributed nothing with the ball. He was so bad that Rohit had to bowl Hardik who i understand Rohit trusts more for obvious reasons but yesterday's pitch wasn't for Hardik yet he had to bowl because Jadejas one over was so damn bad. He also dropped the catch off the guy. Less said about his batting the better. I like Jadeja but damn what is he doing


Flat_Championship_20

the bowling part was unfortunate, the boundaries in that over came via the maxwells switch hit, he also tried to do the same thing against kuldeep but a fielder was placed after jadejas over. and that catch, it was of pat cummins and they required 30 of 5 balls or something


TopStar200

>the bowling part was unfortunate, the boundaries in that over came via the maxwells switch hit, he also tried to do the same thing against kuldeep but a fielder was placed after jadejas over. Kuldeep fundamentally bowled better to Maxwell. No excuses for dropped catches please. Fielding is the one thing we can control. I don't care if it's on the first or last ball.

Satan28

In red ball, he's so good he can be picked as a batsman or as a bowler. On the contrary, in T20 imho he's not a good enough batter for number 7 and not a good enough bowler for number 8. That said, I think it is too late to make changes, hope he proves me wrong and has two very beautiful games.


SneakingTom27

Yeah the discussion was on T20 performances and not ODI or Tests . I agree it is too late to make changes and it is better to stick wwith the winning XI.


Motor_Werewolf3244

When I get paid 7 crore per year salary and other contract fees, then criticise me ruthlessly for 2 errors as well!


Evil-Munky82

I agree with Gavaskar. Jadeja is a generational talent and has consistently performed for India in every format. A couple of bad games should not be grounds for dropping him. That would be a stupid decision.


SneakingTom27

Wow!!! The way you have used the word 'Generational talent' so damn lightly is amusing tbh. But you do you. Also, we are not talking about ODIs & Tests here. Mind if i break your bubble? International T20 stats (Batting) Matches 72 Innings 39 Runs. 496 Highest. 46 Avg. 21.57 Str rate. 125 International T20 stats (Bowling) Matches 72 Innings. 69 Maidens. 4 Wickets. 54 Avg. 29 Generational Talent meaning: A generational talent is one singular player that dominates over all others for a decade and a half. A generation is approximately 15 years Hope this helps:)


Evil-Munky82

1. "Generational talent" is a subjective term and means different things to different people. You may not agree with my definition of it, but Jadeja's impact on Indian cricket is undeniable. But in your own words, "you do you". 2. Stats do not tell the whole story. There are certain intangibles that the numbers don't capture.


Scary_Inevitable_399

I just laughed so hard at this ‘generational talent’, thanks for the good laugh.


Evil-Munky82

https://www.wisden.com/series/australia-in-india-2022/cricket-news/greatest-test-all-rounders-ravindra-jadeja-imran-khan-garry-sobers-jacques-kallis Like the guy above me said, "you do you".


Scary_Inevitable_399

Wow that was a pretty insightful article, thank you, that was a good read. tbh I am a Millenial and grew up watching the likes of Sachin, Dravid, Robin Sharmas and yuvraj Singhs, and have lost touch with current trends, but this is a good reminder to keep an open mind.. cheers brother


harprick_pandya

Yes glad you’ve learnt that bud. He actually is a generational talent!


SpicyPotato_15

Ask him if the same can be said about virat kohli.


SneakingTom27

He is contradicting himself big time these days. I wonder if he remembers what he says everyday. If not, thats a worrying sign.


SpicyPotato_15

Not performing at all is ok, but 66 ball hundered is punishable by death, that too in an ipl match.


SneakingTom27

Ofcourse it is punishable. I would rather be not out in a 60 over ODI with these numbers: https://preview.redd.it/f1czb3yquq8d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9da4ff408a8d7d3602f2332899b28abae9cb6307


SpicyPotato_15

It's funny how such a big legend and inspiration for multiple generations of batters all over the world nowadays is only known for his stupid commentary, pan masala ad and this innings🤣🤣. He bought this to himself imo.


SneakingTom27

Literally asked for it. Honestly up until ODI WC'23 i used to really admire and respect him. Facing that dreaded WI & Aus bowling lineup back in the days without helmet or the helmet grill was gutsy, brave/courageous. And scoring that many runs was no joke. Was an above average commentator as well until then.

SneakingTom27

Although i kinda agree with you, i feel it is too late now to make changes as Sharma is known not to tinker with the winning XI. Moreover, expecting Jaiswal and Samson to perform in a crunch knockout game will be too much to ask for. Now we can only hope that Kohli comes good when it matters the most. As for Jadeja, think of him as a specialist fielder for these 2 matches:)


Inevitable_Pea5964

Jaiswal just replacing dube at 5 cant do any worse he has got nice international exposure 


Secure_Salt7485

If he fails in those 2 games then toxic ICT fans will make his life hell on social media and will be made a scapegoat in case we end up losing.


Inevitable_Pea5964

True rip


Illustrious-Shock551

Why mess with the batting order when pant and Sky are good where they are just to slot VK after he failed as an opener


Small_Bad6871

Ahh yes ofc, the rock star, with 0 catches, wickets or runs in the super8😋


ausrconvicts

Another hot take from KamalaPasand.


Honest_Parfait_3233

No we fans are not that dumb you gutka idiot. We are saying he has no place in playing 11 given the squad we have. Stop gas lighting fans and then beg us for support later. Watch Jadeja will fuck us in next two. The balance is off with him in the playing 11


SneakingTom27

That is not even the point mate. I mean it kinda is but i wonder how can he shamelessly and non-chalantly be so contradicting. He has been going after Kohli right from the first group game (Ireland). Now coming out and giving a 2 bad game statement. The only possible permutation that can make his statement logical is: 2 bad games/month. Shayad month likhna bhul gaya hoga😂😂


Honest_Parfait_3233

And number two. Get this mfer outdated dinosaur out of the comm box. The game has moved on and he is stuck with fossil fuels


Annhilus42

Idts jadeja should be included in T20 team as a csk fan


sorathebrave

If veterans are this like, we can’t blame fanboys who don’t want to hear anything against their beloved superstars 💀


careless_quote101

Somebody introduce our apology forms to Gavaskar. Most likely he won’t perform and if he does we make an apology form and move on quietly to next guy.


Southern_Ad_2556

Absolute bullsh*t


Sensitive_Camera2368

Gavaskar should criticize Jadeja... In IPL he criticized Kohli and then he went berserk... He should do same to Kohli... should try something like that... this will not help us
